Tinted glass and window

Postby Recency » Sat Sep 23, 2006 8:27 pm

Hello to all: I am building a panel and in the front windshield and have a sunvisor. I want to make this sunvisor see through.  In other words I want this visor to have a green tint somthing like sunglasses so it would be possible to see through it. How do you make a color tint to the windshild? I know that if you use 100percent black  you get a clear window. But I want to have a tint. Any help welcome

I've never designed a panel before but in scenery objects i use BMP 2000 to make transparent windows. To make it opaque, open the bmp in BMP 2000. Use a greyscale for the colour, choose tranparent for that tone of grey and save as an extended bmp. The lighter the grey, the clearer the glass.

My explanation may be somewhere in the greyscale itself as i havn't designed an object in a while. ;D
In the colour box you set the colour you want to be transparent. In the transparency box you set the degree of tint, 0=fully transperent, 255=fully opaque. Hope this helps.
